Axie Online

Chapter 62 - Exterminating Goblins (I)

Since the arrival of the Assassin in the red scarf, Rudy's battle has become very easy. The assassin had a wind elemental Magic Skill that could overcome the Goblin Archers hiding in the building from a distance. Most likely he obtained and used the Wind Elemental Rune.

"Thanks for the help, etto...."

"Lyra."

"Lyra, thank you."

Rudy sheathed his sword back on his back when the fight was over. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing the fact that he was still standing here without having to return to the real world as fast as lightning after logging back in.

Ignoring Rudy, who was still a little confused about the situation in Livetuna City, Lyra just walked towards the back of Rudy, where she had come from earlier. Without realizing it, Rudy started to follow. Even though Rudy didn't know where she was going, he was the only thing Rudy could do at this point.

On the way to nowhere to go, Rudy asked Lyra a few questions about the current state of Livetuna City. One by one the questions were asked, but Lyra only answered a few important ones.

Lyra explained that currently, Livetuna City had lost three-quarters of its territory due to the sudden attack from the high-level Goblin and Hobgoblin armies. For most players, of course, ordinary Goblins are not that great and strong, but the problem is the Goblin Warriors, Goblin Archers, Goblin Shamans, and some Hobgoblins which are quite terrible.

Livetuna's Defensive Army also couldn't keep up with and defend the city from the onslaught of the 50,000 Goblin hordes. However, the fairly high-level players who participated in the defense of Livetuna city were at a disadvantage as the number of enemies that invaded the city came from almost all sides.

The Goblins attacked from the south, east, and west side in unison and it made Livetuna's Defensive Army and the other players panic a little. There was no prior notification that there would be a monster attack on the city so the members of Livetuna's Defensive Army didn't worry about it and relaxed behind the Livetuna defense wall.

When Axie Online updates and maintenance, all systems and servers will be temporarily turned off so that the process runs smoothly without any problems. Axies Corporation itself uses a special system that is used to update Axie Online so it doesn't interfere with the world's A.I system itself. But for fear of system damage, the developer still shuts down the system and server.

During updates and maintenance, all time and activities in Axie Online are frozen like a time stop, and all players who are still logged in will be forced to log out. Then after the update and maintenance are done, the system will be moved as before. That's when the Goblins around Livetuna City carried out their attack.

"Amazing storyline."

Rudy smiled slightly hearing Lyra's explanation regarding the current situation of Livetuna City. He did not expect that the development of the story in this game was so good and dramatic from the player's perspective. Of course, some players do not accept this, but overall this incident can be a plot twist in the world of Axie Online.

After a few minutes of traveling from where they were fighting, Rudy and Lyra arrived at an area of ​​Livetuna City that wasn't too heavily affected. Although three-quarters of the Livetuna City area had been completely occupied by the Goblins, there was still one-quarter of the total area of ​​the city that was still safe so that the place was used as a refuge and defense base.

There were lots of refugee tents and NPCs who lost their families and homes. There were also several soldiers, doctors, volunteers, and several other NPCs who helped the refugees deal with this disaster.

"Lyra, does the Quest Center belong in this area?"

"No, but you can pick up the Quest from the Quest Center receptionist who's taking refuge over there."

Lyra pointed to a small tent in front of which sat a girl complete with a table, chairs, and several documents she had to work on. Even so, the document is actually just a display to make him look busy.

After knowing the location, Rudy immediately stepped towards the receptionist girl at the Quest Center and intended to take the available quests.

"The content of the quest is all Goblin hunting? Seriously."

As soon as he saw the available quests, Rudy showed a sour face that really looked disappointed. How come? Everyone in Livetuna City knew that this fledgling city had been taken down by a powerful Goblin army. It was only natural that hunting Goblins was a priority quest.

Although Goblins are considered not very strong, the rewards offered for killing Goblins are quite tempting for novice players.

Quest Giver: System

Quest Type: Extermination

Difficulty :D

Livetuna City had fallen into the hands of the entire Goblin army. To restore the situation and reclaim the Livetuna occupied area, find and exterminate as many Goblins as possible.

Goblins : 0

Reward : 1 Goblin = 20 Byl

Seeing the details of the quest, Rudy couldn't help but sigh heavily. He didn't expect that the Monstrous Invasion Event could attack and destroy the city, even creating a separate quest for the event. Axie Online is a game that is difficult to predict.

***

At this moment, outside the safe area of ​​Livetuna City, Rudy was hunting the Goblins' heads one by one using the Blackstar Sword he was holding. Most of the Goblins he killed weren't level 20s so he could finish them off in one fell swoop.

"These goblins are stupid and weak, but their numbers are really troublesome."

Rudy clenched his jaw knowing he had encountered another group of Goblins. But it wasn't an ordinary group of Goblins that he had killed earlier, this time a group of 10 Goblin Warriors, five Goblin Archers, and a large Hobgoblin carrying a giant two-handed sword.

But when he was pressed like that, Rudy instead showed a wide grin. He takes one of the Items from his Inventory, then uses it by blowing the Item.

When the Item whistling stopped, a small Minotaur two meters high appeared from the ground three meters from where Rudy was standing. That's right, the item Rudy is using is Minotaur's, Summon Horn.

"Roar!!"

The Minotaur roared as soon as his entire body was freed from the ground. He then turned and looked at Rudy, but he didn't do anything. He just looked into Rudy's eyes, then knelt in front of him.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Rudy pointed at the Goblin Warriors in front of him and raised his voice.

"Kill them."
